Old
Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor of the apartment building.
Behrman was a failure in art. For years, he had always been planning to paint a
work of art, but had never yet begun it. He earned a little money by serving as
a model to artists who could not pay for a professional model. He was a fierce,
little, old man who protected the two young women in the studio apartment above
him.
Sue
found Behrman in his room. In one area was a blank canvas that had been waiting
twenty-five years for the first line of paint. Sue told him about Johnsy and
how she feared that her friend would float away like a leaf.
Old
Behrman was angered at such an idea. «Are there people in the world with the
foolishness to die because leaves drop off a vine? Why do you let that silly
business come in her brain?»
«She
is very sick and weak,» said Sue, «and the disease has left her mind full of
strange ideas.»
«This
is not any place in which one so good as Miss Johnsy shall lie sick,» yelled
Behrman. «Some day I will paint a masterpiece, and we shall all go away.»
Johnsy
was sleeping when they went upstairs. Sue pulled the shade down to cover the
window. She and Behrman went into the other room. They looked out a window
fearfully at the ivy vine. Then they looked at each other without speaking. A
cold rain was falling, mixed with snow. Behrman sat and posed as the miner.
